George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
What types of tutoring are offered at the TLC?
At the TLC, we have various tutoring services to suit any kind of learner.
One-on-One
This is a booked 30-60 minute appointment, either in-person at one of our TLC locations, or online through face-to-face video tutoring. You and the tutor work together on whatever skill area you’ve identified. You can book up to 1 hour of tutoring per day and per subject (English, math, accounting, science, computer software or study skills). Group appointments (up to 4 people working on the same skill area) are welcome.
Drop-in Tutoring
Depending on the campus location, the TLC offers drop-in tutoring where one or two tutors are available for a block of time on a day, and students can drop-in and get one or more questions answered or study in the space until they have a question. The difference between one-on-one and drop-in is that you are not guaranteed a certain amount of time with a tutor. It’s on an as-needed basis, and tutors will be going from student to student to ensure that everyone receives support. There is no booking required, and the time a student spends in drop-in does not add to the tutoring limits (see “One-on-One”)
Online Tutoring
Online tutoring works in the same way as one-on-one tutoring, except you’re meeting virtually. All appointments are still booked via our booking program. For more information on online tutoring, please watch these how-to videos. Appointments are 30-60 minutes long and limited to 1-hour per subject (math/English/accounting/study skills/science/computer software) per day. Unfortunately, group appointments cannot be accommodated.
